Land Use
6
Certain land use policies can help older
adults live closer to or within walking
distance of the transportation and services
they need.
Integrating land use and transportation planning
Transit oriented development
Encouraging joint use of community facilities

State Example: Washington
"Washington’s Growth Management Act can
help older citizens feel more comfortable
outside without fear of being hit by a car, and
could improve not only their physical health,
but also their emotional and mental health. The
policy may promote increased access to other
modes of transportation."
-WASHINGTON SENATOR ROSA FRANKLIN

State Example: California
"As SB 375’s implementation unfolds, aging in
place will become easier because more housing
will be available close to public transportation.
This will benefit older adults, since they can
walk places or be close enough to services to
have a choice of whether to drive, walk or take
transit."

RESOURCE COMMITTEE

Transit Oriented Development is compact,
walkable, mixed-use communities that are
developed around high quality public
transportation

Transportation
Increased mobility options can reduce
reliance on transportation by personal car:
Complete Streets
Pedestrian Safety
Access to Services in Rural Areas
Human Service Transportation Coordination
Volunteer Driver Laws

“Complete Streets” are planned, designed,
built, operated and maintained to
accommodate the safety and convenience of
all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists,
transit users and motorists, regardless of age
and ability.

Transportation Coordination: Minnesota
"This (unreliable level of service) causes older
adults to move out of their homes and
communities and forces changes that might be
more expensive overall. In fact, they might be
able to stay in their homes and be active
members of their community if transportation
services were improved."
-MINNESOTA SENATOR SCOTT DIBBLE
